@jaguar: what a sweet cartoon!
I O'd on either CD16 or 17. I've been O'ing on CD17 without assistance, so clomid didn't do much, apparently. He wants me to O on CD14.
I'm around 8 or 9 DPO and feel no different than any other cycle.
-
@Crystal: Well, you're not too far off the 'ideal' 14 day O really - so that's something! x
I thought it was appropriate. Have been looking for some pick me ups over the last week, feeling a lot better since we started again. I always feel a lot more hopeful when I'm doing something, you know?
-
1. What is your story? We conceived baby #2 in April right around LO #1 2nd birthday. We went for a scan at 7w5d and baby was measuring two weeks behind. It was confirmed a blighted ovum 10 days later when we had another ultrasound and there was no growth. That was a week ago.
2. How do you feel today? Today am devastated. I was handling really well last week but this week I can't keep it together at all.
3. If you have any "next steps" what are they? Am waiting for my referral for a D&C and terrified I will miscarry naturally in the meantime. I have no idea where to go from here.
-
@AprilFool: so sorry for your loss. I hope you can get your D&C scheduled soon.
-
@AprilFool: Oh chick, I'm sad to see your face in here. I am so sorry for your loss. From the moment we found out that our baby was no more, I was petrified of losing the pregnancy myself - but thankfully the d&c was the way to go. I really hope it's not too long of a wait for you. Please let us know if there's anything you need/advice we can give. x
-
@Aprilfool : how heartbreaking
I didn't get a D&C with my BO and I wish I did. Here's to hoping that gets scheduled speedily and maybe that will help you a bit emotionally, so that the process doesn't drag out 
-
@jaguar: I've been O'ing on CD17 on my own, which is apparently much different and worse than O'ing on cd14? Who knows.
I totally understand- doing something always makes me feel a lot better!
@AprilFool: I am so sorry for your loss.
-
@Crystal: Doctors, man. Sometimes their motives are all their own, haha.
I had bloods done today to check levels on stims... hopefully I won't hear as no news is good news - but scan isn't until Monday. I'd really like to know if we've got a sensible amount of follicles in there. So scared of my progesterone going too high again, it's my worst nightmare.
-
@mamabolt: @Crystal: Thank you.
@jaguar: Thank you. That's the down side of the Aus public hospital system I guess. They don't seem to be in a hurry. I woke up today feeling better so that's something!
@DesertDreams88: Thank you. How long did it take you to miscarry with your BO? I am supposed to be 10w1d and baby stopped growing at 5w5d so I feel I am running out of time.
P.s I am sorry for everyone's losses!
-
@AprilFool: I hear you, wait times can be ridiculous. Do you have private health? A friend of mine was waiting on a d&c in public after a loss and she ended up going in complaining of pains and they sped things along for her. Worth a try maybe?
-
@aprilfool: I had a bad ultrasound at 6w3d, and started miscarrying two days later at 6w5d. I think the shock of the ultrasound spurred it along, but I know there's no medical basis for that and it doesn't happen like that for most. I also has low progesterone and fluctuating hcg. The bleeding took 2 weeks and I clearly passed the gestational sac, which I wasn't prepared for at all. Then, a ultrasound revealed it was incomplete, which I definitely wasn't prepared for, either. I had to take misoprotol 3 weeks after the loss started, and some blood clots came out. I read a couple places the BOs only have a 66% chance of natural miscarriage. So, all in all, I hope you get a D&C soon!
-
@jaguar: Private health but not for baby things. The hospital called today and I have an appt tomorrow to talk about options. So frustrating! I just want it over. She said if I was bleeding they'd probably hurry it along but no blood so will see how it goes tomorrow.
@DesertDreams88: That sounds awful. I am sorry you had to go through all that. It seems to be an another kick while you're down situation. As if losing a baby isn't hard enough then the waiting and everything else.
-
@AprilFool: I am so sorry they are dragging this out!!! How frustrating!!!
@jaguar: this is the dr I don't really have much trust in, so... How are you feeling this week?
-
@AprilFool: Good luck with your appt. Let us know how you get on!
@Crystal: Worst feeling, not being confident with doctors.
I'm ok, just jabbing and preparing for Monday's big follicle ultrasound. Really nervous!
-
@jaguar: fx for you!!!
-
So the appt was good and bad. I filled out my d&c paperwork but because the scheduling woman wasn't working we couldn't book it in so they are going to ring on Monday. However they rang as I got back to the car and because there was some growth between ultrasounds (10mm and then 14mm) they want me to have another beta before they schedule just in case. I know they are just doing their job but so many hoops to jump through. It just seems a little much.
@jaguar: Good luck for Monday!
-
@aprilfool: that is so silly.... at least one step forward with the paperwork!
-
@AprilFool: Gah! more waiting! Grrrrr.
-
@AprilFool: ugh, I hate the waiting! Good luck!
-
@DesertDreams88: You edited but I totally agreed.
Hcg is falling so they are going to schedule my D&C. Hopefully I will hear tomorrow.
-
@AprilFool: I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm hopeful you'll be booked in soon. Let us know how you get on. x
-
@AprilFool: I'm sorry to hear about your loss. FX that you can get your D&C scheduled quickly.
Hey girls, I haven't been very active on this board in months. I ended up having a CP last cycle. I was pretty suspicious about the pregnancy sticking from the start though, so I didn't get to attached to it.
I hate that my previous experience with pregnancy has done this to me. Plenty of girls make up whole threads announcing that they got a BFP and their babies stick no problem. I get one and I immediately go into defense mood. Is it going to be like this for my keeper pregnancy when I finally get it.
If I don't get KU this month I'm going to make an appointment with a OBGYN and try to start testing. -
@auggiefrog: Shit.
I'm sorry chick. I feel the same way about things sticking around (if we get there again!) - you're not alone. Hope you're doing okay.
-
@AprilFool: fx they can get you in quickly. I didn't have to have a D&C, but the waiting between when I found it was going to happen until the time it did was absolute torture. Big hugs for you.
@auggiefrog: I completely understand. This whole process has completely taken my innocence, and I truly mourn it. I have women announcing at work all the time at 4 weeks pregnant, and every single baby has been born perfect.
I joke with my DH that we'll be so nervous about it we'll announce at the kids first bday.
-
@auggiefrog: Thank you. I am sorry about your CP. I can't imagine never worrying about this again.
@Crystal: The waiting is definitely the worst part. Impossible to start moving on in limbo.
@jaguar: Good luck today and fx for good news!
We just booked a trip to Hawaii as our consolation prize!
-
At the hospital for my d&c now
-
@AprilFool: Hope today went well, lovely. x As well as could be, anyway.
-
@jaguar: It went perfectly. Am sad and relieved now. Happy that it's over but I miss my little baby that never was.
-
@AprilFool: I understand. Take the time to do what you need to, and remember how you want to remember. I still miss mine too, I think we all do. xx
-
@AprilFool: glad things went smoothly. Take care of yourself.
-
Hi ladies! I haven't been on for a while. I've been in the frustrating situation of waiting for my period to come back post D&C (took over 6 weeks), waiting for that first period to be over (took 2 weeks), and now waiting for the second cycle so we can try again. Ugh. So hard to wait not knowing what will happen in the end.
Anyhow, I have an off-topic request for you. I don't know if any of you pray/send good vibes, but if so, could you please send some my husband's way tomorrow? He has a second interview for his dream job. He's been through some really hard personal times during the past couple years and has done an amazing job of pulling himself up by his boot straps. He would be phenomenal at this job and it would be so much more than a job for him and our family. It would change everything. So, if you could even just pray that his anxiety doesn't get the best of him, that he does well at the interview, that he presents his best self, that would be amazing. Thank you!!
-
@poppygirl15: Good wishes to your hubby! Hope all goes well. x
How are you guys doing?
-
@poppygirl15: positive vibes and prayers sent, good luck to your DH. So sorry about the waiting. The waiting is awful. Fingers crossed your next cycle gets here soon.
@jaguar: I think of you often
how have you been?
-
@HappyBluebird: Hey chick, how are you? I've been keeping a low profile, since I was getting into quite a funk. Thankfully a good few sessions later, I'm feeling a lot more positive again. It's just been really, really hard doing this all over again - more than I ever imagined, despite having the infertility stuff with Georgia too. Threw me for a loop, but I'm being kind to myself. (And stepping away from HB helped too.)
We're just preparing for a new cycle with a new clinic, so have a little more hope back now, which is nice. Unfortunately our second miscarriage due date is this week, so it's very emotional around these parts, especially still not being pregnant again.
x
-
@poppygirl15: Good luck to your husband! I hope his interview went well!
@jaguar: I am sorry this has been so hard but I am glad things are moving ahead. *hugs* for due date week.
I am doing ok, just keeping on moving forward.
-
Thanks @aprilfool, @jaguar, and @happybluebird - I really appreciate it. My husband thought it went okay - at least he felt he did the best he could. They said they'd be in touch in 1 - 2 weeks so now we wait (but we're all used to waiting on this board, aren't we!). Good luck to you @jaguar! I'm personally dreading how I'll feel if I am not pregnant at my miscarriage due date, so I can't even imagine how you're feeling. Hugs!
-
I guess I'll be joining this board unfortunately. I went in for my 8 week appt and the baby was measuring small and the heartbeat was slow at 101, but I wasn't sure of my period or period length because I recently stopped breastfeeding my first. I came in this week for another sonogram and they couldn't find a heartbeat this time.
My Dr gave me until the end of this week to miscarry naturally since he thinks it's been about 3 weeks since the baby stopped growing. If I don't miscarry myself, then I'll have up decide to do the pills or d&c. I'm kind of freaked out by the idea of both actually and I don't know which ones worse. They're both awful. -
@abbydabbydoodlebug: I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby.
The waiting is horrible. I waited for 2 days, then light bleeding lasted about 10 days, then another ultrasound showed there was still "something" inside so they gave me a week to wait it out and when nothing happened, I had to take the pills. The pill experience was physically fine, nowhere near the horror stories I read online. I believe that's because I only measured 5 weeks along, and m doctor prescribed me oral pills, not vaginal. However, a surprisingly large piece of tissue came out, and that left me emotionally shaken for quite some time. That lead my husband and I to decide that if I ever experienced another miscarriage measuring more than 6 weeks, I would for sure get a D&C, so as to not see anything.
I wish you peace for whatever way it goes for you.
-
@poppygirl15: best of luck to your DH! I had a similar long wait for my first AF and second AF. It dragged out the whole bad experience, but looking back I wouldn't have been emotionally ready to conceive back then even though I thought I would be. FX for that great job for your DH and your next cycle.
-
@jaguar: I've been thinking of you often and hoping that this new clinic is a great change for you. Changing ob/gyns, while a much smaller scale of change, did wonders for my mood and my chances of conceiving. I love the idea of your little day 1 embryos "driving" across town to a better home!
I know it must have been nerve-wracking but wow, what technology we have nowadays for fertility!!
I didn't get a D&C with my BO and I wish I did. Here's to hoping that gets scheduled speedily and maybe that will help you a bit emotionally, so that the process doesn't drag out 
I'm ok, just jabbing and preparing for Monday's big follicle ultrasound. Really nervous!
